After four years, Fel was convicted of a number of corruption charges, including: two counts of bribery; one count of embezzlement from Fel Enterprises; and one count of attempted murder against his former chief of staff, Odin Tharen. Fel was sentenced to forty years in prison, where he died in 12,942 BBY.[1]

Dagith Fel was created by author and role-player Brandon Rhea in an attempt to clear up the timeline of Corellian Senators on TheStarWarsRP.Com, as there were some inconsistencies as to which Corellian Senators served when during and around the third and fourth role-playing timelines. Fel was created as the Senator who served between Etesutr Hapor and Nathanahu Zaren.[1]
